Jim Sterling, possibly the world's greatest games journalist not that this is not really a compliment given "games journalism", made a video about calling ourselves consumers and where that word came from. It's about the games industry specifically but I think it applies elsewhere.
I Hate The Word 'Consumer' (The Jimquisition)
Yes the man looks ridiculous. No that doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Also true for citizens not voters.
OK, noted.
TL:DR?
Jim is a tool
Well, at least he's got a little ekans.
Dressed like a complete moron.
"Games journalist"
Consumers is a silly word though.
Jim is terrible. He puts his politics into gaming and generally sucks as a games journalist imho.
Is this the same Jim that does the mowing? Man he really needs to focus
He's been sniffing too many petrol jerry cans
Many moons ago Coles group renamed their staff members to team members. You know what changed? Nothing, so who really cares.
‘You are all part of this team until you fall pregnant, injure yourself, ask for more hours, call out dangerous safety practises…’
Must be the gummints fault
I'll call myself whatever I want, thanks Jim for your concern
Hi Whatever I Want, free world but that's a bit cumbersome, just imo =p
Thanks Jim
